            CANOLA FIELDS
           JAMES MCMURTRY

CAPO: 1st FRET

INTRO:
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC

VERSE:
    C majorC              G+G
I was thinkin` `bout you crossin` Southern Alberta
 C majorC         D MajorD
Canola fields on a July day
      C majorC            G+G     G+G
`Bout the same chartreuse as that sixty-nine Bug
       E minorEm      D MajorD  C majorC
You used to drive around San Jose

VERSE:
    C majorC            G+G
Never knew where my old white Lincoln might take you
 C majorC          D MajorD
Party on wheels with suicide doors
      C majorC             G+G    D MajorD
Bring the kids and the dogs and your grandma too
  E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC
We always had room for more


VERSE:
      C majorC              G+G
`Til that white knuckle ride back from Santa Cruz
 C majorC             D MajorD
Second best surfer on the central coast
     C majorC           G+G      D MajorD
Had you wrapped up all the way back to Los Gatos
  E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC
And I couldda cut his throat


VERSE:
    C majorC           G+G
And I wasn`t like we were an item to start with
  D MajorD        E minorEm
It had no basis in fact
     C majorC            G+G
But the whiskey could push me to sudden ذµxtremes
              D MajorD
I don`t wanna think about that
        C majorC      G+G  G+G
I don`t wanna think about that

CHORUS:
C majorC     E minorEm   D MajorD D MajorD
 Take my hand Marie
C majorC    G+G       D MajorD      C majorC
 Take a death grip on some part of me

 C majorC      G+G    D MajorD     E minorEm
Keep me from driftin` far out to sea
      E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC  C majorC
Or I`ll be lost out there


INSTRUMENTAL:
C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD D MajorD


VERSE:
    C majorC           G+G
We all filtered away with the days gettin` shorter
 C majorC            D MajorD
Seekin` our place in the greater scheme
 C majorC           G+G
Kids and careers and a vague sense of order
 E minorEm    D MajorD      C majorC
Bustin` apart at the seams


VERSE:
  C majorC                G+G
I heard you switched coasts, moved in with your sister
  C majorC             D MajorD
I doubt she`d`a called it familial bliss
  C majorC          G+G
We met up in Brooklyn before it went hipster
   E minorEm      D MajorD      C majorC
You carried your keys in your fist


VERSE:
    C majorC          G+G
Then away back corner of a cross-town bus
     D MajorD         E minorEm
We were hidin` out under my hat
 C majorC        G+G
Cashin` in on a thirty year crush

              D MajorD
You can`t be young and do that
       C majorC      G+G  G+G
You can`t be young and do that


CHORUS:
C majorC     E minorEm   D MajorD D MajorD
 Take my hand Marie
C majorC    G+G       D MajorD      C majorC
 Take a death grip on some part of me

 C majorC      G+G    D MajorD     E minorEm
Keep me from driftin` far out to sea
      E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC  C majorC
Or I`ll be lost out there
      E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC  C majorC
Or I`ll be lost out there


INSTRUMENTAL/SOLO:
E minorEm D MajorD G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
E minorEm D MajorD G+G D MajorD C majorC C majorC
E minorEm D MajorD G+G C majorC C majorC D MajorD D MajorD


VERSE:
    C majorC              G+G
I was thinkin` `bout you crossin` Southern Alberta
 C majorC        D MajorD
Canola fields at harvest time look like
 C majorC          G+G
Tumbleweeds all raked up into rows
   E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC  C majorC
And brown rusty contour lines


VERSE:
       C majorC           G+G
And there`s not much movin` on the romance radar
 C majorC            D MajorD
Not that I`m cravin` it all that much
    C majorC            G+G
But I still need to feel every once in a while
   E minorEm     D MajorD      C majorC  C majorC
The warmth of a smile and a touch


VERSE:
    C majorC          G+G
Then away back corner of a cross-town bus
     D MajorD         E minorEm
We were hidin` out under my hat
 C majorC        G+G
Cashin` in on a thirty year crush
              D MajorD
You can`t be young and do that
       C majorC      G+G  G+G
You can`t be young and do this

   G+G           D MajorD
You can`t be young and do that
       C majorC      G+G G+G
You can`t be young and do this


CHORUS:
C majorC     E minorEm   D MajorD D MajorD
 Take my hand Marie
C majorC    G+G       D MajorD      C majorC
 Take a death grip on some part of me

 C majorC      G+G    D MajorD     E minorEm
Keep me from driftin` far out to sea
      E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC  C majorC
Or I`ll be lost out there
      E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC  C majorC
Or I`ll be lost out there

     E minorEm  D MajorD  C majorC
I`ll be lost out there
